Analysis

Hamakaze Kai

Priority: Low

At first remodel, she has low firepower and a decent torpedo stat, making her hitting harder in night battle than at day, but not great at either.
While not impressive in combat, do keep in mind than many maps require you to bring at least a few destroyers for routing.
Furthermore, destroyers are cheap to deploy and can equip Drum Canister, making them suited for expeditions.


Hamakaze B Kai

Priority: Medium-Low

Her B remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stats, making her perform better in most kinds of combat, and also raises her ASW allowing her to perform OASW at high-but-before-marriage levels with proper gear.
She also gets a sizable AA boost and a special Anti-Air Cut-In that's a bit stronger than the generally used one but doesn't often trigger in its place due to lower priority.

Recommended Roles

  • Surface combat (B remodel)
  • ASW (B remodel)
  • Anti-air (B remodel)

Important Information

  • Required for A86, A90, B123, and C27.
  • An option for C15 and C21.

I'm Hamakaze. I participated in many fierce battles.

At Leyte I was in the heart of Kongou's ring formation. The final moments of Musashi, Kongou and that Shinano I witnessed are burned into my memory.[1] At the fateful Operation Ten-go, Yukikaze and I struggled with all our might to protect Yamato.[2]

浜風です。数々の激戦に参加しました。

レイテでは金剛を中心とした輪形陣。そして武蔵や金剛、あの信濃の最後もこの目に焼き付けることになりました。 運命の坊ノ岬では、雪風らと共に大和を護って奮闘します。
